Also, I bet there are plenty of people that are happy to be in the WWE.

I never actually knew if Kanyon was gay or not because at one point he said it was just a gimmick and that he wasn't actually gay. So I'm not sure if he came out, didn't get, in his mind, a positive reaction and just said it was a gimmick or if it really was just a gimmick.

Raven and James Mitchell pretty much confirmed it in their joint shoot (that took place just after his funeral funnily enough). I don't have the footage any more to quote from but I believe he used to act as if he had slept with a rat but the whole thing was ludicrously suspect. As a side note, he got pissed when Mitchell used his skull scepter thing (from the Mortis character) to ... y'know ... pleasure a woman.

When Kanyon was on the Howard Stern show a few years ago, he was really open about being gay, and said that he lost his job because of it.

Off topic: Is it actually true that pro-wrestling is usually more homophobic than other "athletic endeavours"? Nothing is more homophobic than professional team (men's) sports. I think wrestling is kind of a weird case, because there's a lot of performers that I think wouldn't mind, especially the younger guys, a lot of whom are, well.... hipsters. But then there's the culture of wrestling, which exclusively developed to make people think everyone's manly tough bad-asses, instead of a bunch of drama nerds. So, I think they're be personally welcomed, but it'd feel jarring and it'd never be like they completely fit in.

There was a pretty amusing story of Kanyon's cousins finding a stash of gay porn (think from a busted car carrier roof) and him asking James Mitchell if he could take the fall by calling the cousins if they've seen any of his personal material.

I mean Pat Patterson is Vince's right hand man and he's been openly gay for decades. They've had gay characters (or at the least characters we are supposed to think are gay).

He isn't in WWE but AR Fox was in a gay porn, I don't know if he is gay or not though, he could have just done it for the money. From what I know about Fox he isn't gay, he is just an idiot. He got paid decent money but he basically was way to trusting of people. Either way, hasn't hurt his career too much as he's heavily pushed in CZW, Dragon Gate USA, and is starting to tour fairly regularly in Japan for Dragon Gate and Germany with WXW. As for Kanyon, he initially claimed to being released for being gay but backtracked it. Kanyon had bipolar disorder which caused him issues after being released and he never recovered. Though with him I still laugh at Hurricane's story about when Kanyon came out (Hurricane was the 2nd person after DDP he told) Kanyon sent Hurricane a message online and told him he had something important to tell him. Kanyon then said "I'm gay does that bother you?" Hurricane's response "Okay. I'm not, does that bother you?" From various stories I've heard from wrestlers, quite a few seem to just take the attitude of "that's fine as long as you respect that I'm not". Obviously not everybody is like that, but a fair amount are.

I tried that joke a few posts up but it got no-sold. That's because no one listens to you. No one gives a damn what you think. And what the hell are you doing wearing that ridiculous outfit?! You look like a damn road sign! What the hell are you, a school crossing?!

Now I haven't seen the video, or any gay porn for that matter, but from what I have heard the idea that he was 'tricked' was only a part of the video's storyline. I don't claim to know a lot about porn, but if he really was 'deceived' I'm fairly certain that video would not have gotten out without his consent. He may or may not be gay, but he definitely willingly had sex with a dude.

There's a lot of dispute there; Kanyon thought he was released because he was gay, but WWE denied it. And when rumors spread that OJ was fired because he was gay, he quashed the rumors immediately.

I really object to this thread.
The title should be "Gay in WWE", not "Gay in the WWE".
